Be upfront and highly communicative about all your steps and plans. When you\u2019re thorough in discussing what she wants, possible options, and anything related to the budget. But always keep the big picture in mind. Remind the bride that some issues and decisions are bigger than others. Just because you\u2019re bringing little details to her attention doesn\u2019t mean that all decisions carry equal weight. A lack of clear perspective is what awakens the beast! Use your professional skills to make recommendations and suggestions along with local explanations behind choices. We guarantee she\u2019ll appreciate the effort.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_a_Listener\"><\/span>Be a Listener<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Was the bride completely collected, organized, and easy to work with before a dramatic outburst? It happens to the best of us! If this isn\u2019t a pattern of behavior, it\u2019s worth your while to spend some time listening to her. Being a shoulder to rest on is part of the job. While it\u2019s possible that some of the problems she swears are deal breakers might be non-issues, she may bring up some good points. Especially if a last minute emergency happens and she\u2019s overwhelmed. Once you\u2019ve planned enough weddings, you\u2019ll learn to recognize the difference between a high-strung yet reasonable bride from the bridezillas truly deserving of the title.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_professional\"><\/span>Be professional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Draw the line if she all she wants to do during a session is to vent. You\u2019re there to offer professional services, and you have other clients to worry about! That being said, you should be kind to her. In the months leading up to the wedding, the bride will be facing stress from all directions. Especially when deadlines loom, she may feel uncertainty towards her decisions. When you\u2019re calm, sympathetic, and empathetic, your job will be much easier. Especially since you\u2019re not as personally invested as her, you\u2019ll have a clear head when talking things over with her. She\u2019ll also trust your opinion and any gestures of comfort since you\u2019re a skilled professional.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remind_her_that_these_are_just_details\"><\/span>Remind her that these are just details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15182\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/crying-bridezilla.jpg\" alt=\"crying bridezilla\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/crying-bridezilla.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/crying-bridezilla-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You have to be the straight-woman here. Let her know that at the end of the day, she\u2019s celebrating getting married to her best friend. Whether or not the table runner matches with the napkins doesn\u2019t matter in the bigger picture. And it\u2019s definitely not worth capsizing friendships and hurting the feelings of people who love her most! If she\u2019s obsessing about every little detail, it\u2019ll be worth your while to use your knowledge to narrow down options for her even more. Be more firm with your recommendations, but don\u2019t blindside her. If you present yourself as being open to communicate at every turn, she\u2019ll trust you more and loosen her grip on the reins.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stand_up_for_yourself\"><\/span>Stand up for yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once in a blue moon, you\u2019ll encounter an abusive bride. We\u2019re not going to say to just take the abuse! It may happen more than a comfortable amount, but you\u2019re not a punching bag. Don\u2019t try to tip-toe around her. Let her know that you\u2019re a professional and you\u2019re there to help them, but you\u2019re a person, too. Don\u2019t enable her inappropriate behavior. You may have to excuse yourself until she calms down. If she\u2019s just overwhelmed by everything on her plate, detail everything that\u2019s been accomplished since your last meet-up. Once she has a good idea of what\u2019s been crossed off the list, a weight will be lifted off her shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>And if she threatens to fire you? Make sure that you have <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/09\/8-clauses-every-event-planning-contract-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iron-clad contracts<\/a> to begin with! If she terminates your agreement, it\u2019s within your right to get paid for everything you\u2019ve already done for her!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warn_your_vendors\"><\/span>Warn your vendors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably spent a lot of time building your friendships with your favorite vendors. And if you just passively pass on unreasonable requests to your vendors, and won\u2019t accept negotiations in fear of losing your client, it won\u2019t end well. It\u2019s not worth having a client destroy your professional working relationships. Let the vendors know ahead of a potentially turbulent meeting. Then when she goes to meet with vendors, go with her. You\u2019ll be the middleman and diffuse any potentially destructive arguments. Make sure that you always have a contingency plan if something doesn\u2019t work out!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15183\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wedding-planner-meeting-with-vendors.jpg\" alt=\"wedding planner meeting with vendors\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wedding-planner-meeting-with-vendors.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/wedding-planner-meeting-with-vendors-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_with_a_hysterical_bride\"><\/span>What to do with a hysterical bride:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have to phone in reinforcements.
